HTC has unveiled Wildfire, a new HTC Sense-based Android phone that comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen, five-megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, and integrates most popular social networks.
According to HTC, the new phone comes with Friend Stream application that gathers and displays content from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised stream of updates. It also allows users to stay up to date with friends’ posts, comments, alerts and photos.
In addition, each contact viewed in HTC Wildfire’s address book includes a thread of recent communications with the person, including when you last spoke, recent text messages and emails, and social network updates. The HTC Caller ID displays the caller’s Facebook profile photo and latest updates.
Florian Seiche, vice president of HTC EMEA, said: “Today’s social networks provide an essential forum for friendship with more than 400 million users, many of whom are young adults actively sharing their lives with their friends through Facebook. HTC Wildfire makes the HTC Sense experience available to young mobile users for the first time.
“It brings all your communications into one place, whether it’s through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always close to your friends.”
The new HTC Wildfire is expected to be available to customers across major European and Asian markets from Q3 2010.
